Minimalist Matte Art Paper Gift Tote Bag

A blank tag comes with the bag, hung on a thin cord beside the handle. The tag is cut from the same art paper, so the two pieces read as one set. A mark or a line of text can be printed on the tag, in the same foil as the bag. Because the tag is part of the set, a shop does not have to source one on its own.

- The ribbon: a wide satin band, not a cord.

- The top edge: the band passes through slots in the rim and is fixed inside.

- The hand: the band is broad, so it lies across the fingers as a flat.

- The colour: the band is cut to the shade of the order.

- The mark: pressed on with foil, in gold or in red.

- The surface: the foil goes on a matte face, so the letters stay clear.

- The size: from a single letter on a tag to a word across the front.

- With the tag: the same foil is used on the tag, so the two match.

- The file: a foil die is cut from the file you send.

- The sample: the words in our photos show the finish, not a fixed mark.

The top edge is folded over twice, so the mouth holds a straight line. The base is folded into a square, which is what lets the bag stand when it is filled. Because the paper is thick, the wall stays flat from the mouth down to the base. The fold lines are pressed first, so the bag opens the same way every time.

The bag is made to the size of what goes inside. The paper and the ribbon can be set to your brand colour. A tag, the bag face and the ribbon are laid out as one set of artwork. Gold or red foil is chosen from your file, so the finish fits the brand.

A new order starts from your file: the size, the paper shade, the ribbon colour and the foil are set on paper before anything is cut. Bags and tags are made as one set, so the tag is cut from the same art paper and printed with the same foil. The two are packed together and counted by size, and the count is written on the carton. For a brand event or a reprint, the layout is kept on file, so the second run matches the first. Tell us the size, the colour and the foil you need, and the bag, the tag and the ribbon are quoted as one package.
